HR team lead by people with no competencies and basic people skills

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fancy company with a lot of good slogans to make them look cool.

Cons

HR leaders who have no idea about their teams operations. Discrimination of young employees because of their age. Unfair treatment. Bad leaders covering each other's back pushing good employees out of the company. Fear based management. Team members are bullied into not disagreeing with the senior management.

Do not work for Burberry

Store manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary, employee sales, staff discount and commission.

Cons

Racist manager who allows racist behaviour. Racism was reported to HR but they ignored it despite lots of evidence. Long and unsociable hours. No career progression unless your face fits or if someone leaves. Lack of support during festive season. Despite the good salary and package it really isn't worth working with people who openly share their racist views and treat those from ethnic minorities differently.

Pros

Leaving was the best thing I did

Cons

Absolutely racist, no denying it at all. I brought up several racist issues and nothing was done. They fired all the Black people there too. Staff are generally disgusting people. Toxic enviorment. Denied a promotion even though I had years of experience in the field and was even told my presentation was the best they've seen. They decided to give to the role to a white man who was part time and didnt even apply for the promotion.
